EMILY BRONTE QUOTES

A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o'clock,
 runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.

EMILY BRONTE, Wuthering Heights

Vain are the thousand creeds

That move men's hearts: unutterably vain;

Worthless as withered weeds,

Or idlest froth amid the boundless main.

EMILY BRONTE, Last Lines

Poems of Emily Brontë 

  Riches I Hold in Light Esteem (March 1, 1841)

Riches I hold in light esteem
And Love I laugh to scorn
And lust of Fame was but a dream
That vanished with the morn–
And if I pray, the only prayer
That moves my lips for me
Is–"Leave the heart that now I bear
And give me liberty."
Yes, as my swift days near their goal
'Tis all that I implore
Through life and death, a chainless soul
With courage to endure!
